A Deep Dive Into How Cruise Ships Operate | Building The Queen Elizabeth | Spark

The Queen Elizabeth will be one of Britain’s greatest ships. The new pride of the Cunard Line is being built at a cost of £350 million. This documentary gives privileged access to the construction of an exciting new generation of ocean-going liners; a 92,000-tonne ship designed to double as a transatlantic express and a cruise ship. Our cameras were there at the laying of her keel; we follow the building of her superstructure, the installation of the massive engines, the fitting out of sumptuous staterooms, recruitment of exceptional staff – from the captain down. This is a story of great engineering endeavour, brought alive by unique archive film of the first Queen Elizabeth and the legendary Queen Mary. It will intrigue and fascinate those who love tales of the sea; of giant ships and of maritime engineering and of the human side of creating and manning one of the world’s greatest ships.
